dent and secretary of the Southwestern
Minnesota Editorial Association. We
commend it To the liberal consideration
of every editor in this portion of the

made to either Mr.. Todd of st. Paul, or
Mr.. Dearth, of lie Sueur:
According TO a resolution adopted at
the last meeting of the ;. w. Mimi. Edi-
torial association, the next annual meet
ing will he held (f held at alb at Man.
kato, in the month of June, on such date
as the executive committee shall indi-
cate. Although the editors Of the dis
trict originally expressed desire for
such an organization, and have since eX-
pressed an interest in it, these express
ions have only been con paper" and
the attendance at the meetings has not
been great enough TO inspire an alarm

much encouragement; yet all who have
attended acknowledge unqualifedly
that the time was both profitably and
pleasantly spent.

il still smaller. The committee is ready
TO name date for the meeting and ar
range the programme if the craft will
throw down their quilts and sticks, and
attend; but life is too short and the
glory too inconsiderate TO make these
arrangements in the face of a probable
fizzle. In order to bring the matter to
head, like poulticed boil the COM
mittee sends a copy of this circular to
every editor in the district as far as
known, and requests the recipient to
reply ut once, stating whether or not he
will attend meeting, if one is called
If the attendance will warrant the an
nOuDcement will Immediately follow;
otherwise, otherwise. Every publisher
is also requested to make a short item
from the above for the benefit of all,
who may have been overlooked i'm the
sending of these circulars.
Don't fail to be prompt i'm sending in
yOur responses. And don't say that you
, will attend and then disappOint the as

looked upon as pledge not to be broken

The Adams Express Robbery,

ST.. LOUIS, Mo-, May 5.-rhe case OF
David S. rockingham, the Adams Ex-
press messenger, indicted for completely
in the robbery of that company on the
st. Louis and San Francisco railroad last
October, was begun in the criminal
court Monday. After the jury was
sworn Assistant Circuit Attorney Me-
Donald opened the case for the prosecti-
ton in long statement, in which he
enumerated various things which the
State expected to prove during the
trial. Among them are that Frothing-
ham, prior to the robbery, made in
quiries with view to getting another
position; that he intended to leave the
employ of the company; that he en-
quired of employees in the company's
office rs to what nights the largest runs
went out; the night of the robbery was
one of the heavy run nights; that he
knew almost to dollar the amount Of
money was in the run on the night Of
the robbery; that several of his state
ments regarding the entrance of Wit
rock to the express car and the manner
of the robbery were not correct; thai
his story about his receiving letters from
the robber purporting to be from Super
intendent Damsell and Route Agent
Barrett was only partly true, and tina
numerous other of his statements were
not correct, all going to show that ht
was in collision with the robbers. Testi
mony was then given by employees o.
the company and of one or two banks
showing that certain packages and sums
of money were in the express car oil
the night of the robbery.

CONVICT LABOR.

Some Idea of the Forthcoming Re-
WASHINGTON, May 3.-The report of
the national bureau of convict labor has
just been completed, and will probably
be issued in ten days from the govern
ment printing office. The report gives
the result of the first investigation of the
kind ever carried on by the United
States government, and its disclosures as
regards the effects of the convict labor
system on legitimate or outside indus
tries are of the highest importance. The
book contains a general review of the
subject. and carefully prepared tables,
giving the details in full, and finally a
discussion Of all the various systems of
convict labor that have existed from the
earliest centuries down to the time of
Henry George. The abolition of all sys-
TENS of convict labor is recommended,
but if this be not done, the state account
system is referred TO as the least objec-
tlonable. The investigation extends
throughout 1880. In that year IL is shown
there were 5000 persons in the prisons
of the United States engaged at civic Ia
Dor. The average value of their produc-
tons amounted to SIG, OOO, 900. The goods
most produced were boots and shoes,
over so, 100000 worth having been made
i'm that year. Hardware comes next,
and after that the largest items are stoves
breshes, brooms and clothing. Annexed
TO the report will be an historical dis
cussion of the various systems of convict
labor from the earliest times down to
the present. These notes are very in
teresting, giving information of the first
establishment of prisons in earliest eras
in which profitable labor i'm them was
inaugurated. In China We go back 1000
years Il. G..

TOWNSHIP BOARDS OF HEALTH.

The report ofthe State board of health
for March contains the following in re-
gard to the organization of township
boards of health:
There are, in this State, about 700
Township Boards of Health. BY the
law of their organization their member
ship is changed every year, ut the Town
Meeting i'm March. Fortunately one, at
least, of the old members is, as a rule,
reelected, and the Clerk may be retain
ed for several years. Until this year,
our returns have not been complete,
but are likely to be so now. Up to date
april l4) over 800 re-organizations have
been reported to the State Board, since
March 10, and at the present rate the
whole number will be registered i'm our
"Record of Local Boards" by May lst
Taking thirty counties, at random, il
appears that % per cent of the Clerks
have been changed, and a still greater
portion of ChaIrmen, so that large
number of the Township Boards begin
the, official, year with officers who have
to learn their duties "from the bottom
up" spending the first month, one of
the most important ofthe whole year, in
doing so. The interruption to methods,
work, and records caused, i'm this way,
is just cause of complaint. Though
known to most of the members of the
last Legislature, a bill TO change the law.
so as TO leave, on these Boards, a fair
proportion of the old members, failed to
pass. AS their duties increase in uum-
Der and Importance, these defects of or
ganization will become SO evident that
they will be generally recognized, and
their correction will be, as generally, de-
manded. Meantime it is satisfaction
to report that new and old Boards, alike,
are more prompt in getting to work, this
year than last, and the Clerks, particu-
larly, show an interest which is an en-
couraging omen for the future"
